Look, I understand youâre just calling out hypocrisy, but anyone who has experienced being mocked or harassed for supposedly âproblematicâ ships should not be doing the same thing back to ordinary people who ship the same pairing as the harassers. Even if that ship is more problematic than yours.
Kl@nce shippers are often awful, but saying that Kl@nce is a bad ship for bad people is not okay.
Kat.aang shippers often attack Zutarians, but that doesnât mean we should say âKat.aang is pedophilia/incest and therefore no one should be allowed to ship it because itâs morally wrongâ because at the end of the day itâs fiction and people can ship whatever they want. You certainly shouldnât say âKat.aang shippers are incels and boymoms,â because thatâs actually engaging in harassment yourself.
Perca.beth shippers will go after any ship that isnât canon, but that doesnât make it okay for anti-Perca.beths to say âyou canât ship it because itâs abusive and if you like it you like abuseâ because again, thatâs harassment.
And you certainly shouldnât punch down on people whose ships you consider âreallyâ problematic. Like the Zutarians who hate on Reylos, and the Sheith folks who mocked Shidge shippers.
All ships are okay. All ships are valid. If you say âship and let shipâ but you only mean your ship specifically, you are just a fancop wearing a proshipper hat.
